I went here as I like Aveda products and thought I would give this salon a try. The salon looks nice and modern and looks simplistic with it's dark wooden background and black polished floors but, it looks modern and has a nice clean feel to it. I was offered some Aveda tea to start off with. The girl at the salon asked what I wanted. I got a nice 10 minutes scalp massage with some essentials oils. After I got foils put into my head. The girl was quite friendly and did not pull and was not rough in handling my hair. I later got a conditioning treatment and sat in the lovely vibrating massage chair for about 15 mins. My hair was then dried, cut to how I wanted it to look and then blow dried. The girl then grabbed a mirror and asked if I was happy with the result. My hair colour looked even then cut was just right. My hair not only looked good but, also smelled lovely. This is a nice salon and staff are quite friendly and professional. The only downside is the price for cuts and colour is a bit steep. If your hair takes longer than 3 hours then you need to pay for parking as there is free parking in the centre for up to 3 hours.
Would I got back here? Definately as I was happy with the service and how good my hair looks.

Great service by the staff, very friendly and explained what was on each of the dishes that came out. Quick service. Each dish was beautifully presented and tastes beautiful. The scents that wafted from the dishes that came to my table and other had beautiful aromas. All the dishes on the menu sounded delicious. The dinner menu has a few more dishes on offer compared with the lunch menu and it $20 dearer in price. I think the dinner menu had some great dishes. I particularly loved the duck with red wine sauce. I will definately come back here again for another meal soon.

This place isn't easy to find. It is above Wabi Sabi resturant. Just go up the stairs. Once you arrive the friendly staff greet you. You are then seated on the ground Japanese style where you fill in your details. Once that is completed the beauty therapist will go through your details and ask about you likes and dislikes, what you would like to achieve that day.
I got a massage and facial that day and I felt totally relaxed as the therapist took her time to massage me. The therapist was very good as she knew exactly where me tense spots were and concentrated on those areas. My facial was equally relaxing and my face felt and looked a lot clearer. It was the first time that a facial didn't make me red and look oily. Highly recommended for a relaxing and totally indulgent session. Both Anne and Mayumi as excellent.

I thought I would give this place a try after seeing some of the pictures of the salon. Their black and white theme decor looked cool. I booked in for a Deluxe Spa Manicure and Pedicure. I arrived on time and was advised that they wouldn't be too long. I waited about 20 minutes before one of the free. One of the girls kept apologizing for keeping me waiting which, she was kind enough to do. The girl who did my manicure and pedicure was lovely. She was very friendly and chatty. She meticulously worked on my hands. She took her time and assured me that she would have me looking my very best. She is such a perfectionist and would not allow me to leave the salon until my nails looked absolutely perfect. I love this kind of service and attention. The only downside to this place is parking as there a one hour limit at the Safeway car park. You may have to move you car every hour or you 'll be booked. So if you can avoid parking and catch public transport as the girls may take longer than specified only because they are doing a thorough job. The team take pride in their work and it reflects as they seem like they do enjoy their job. I would definately return for another manicure and pedicure.

I love coming to this site to read reviews of places that I usually attend or will be about to visit. I find most reviews quite helpful and often assist me in making decisions about where to go.

I have ordered via drive through a few times and have found the service quite prompt. I often get my meals in a couple on minutes and it is hot and fresh. My chips were hot and not too dry. They even gave me a free upgrade sticker for me vehicle.

I have been here a few times and love the coffees and cakes they have. This place is pricey for what you get but, the food (sandwhiches, foccaccia's and pies) so taste delicious. I love the comfy couches they have.

I ordered a pizza on the phone and told them that I would pick it up in 20 minutes. When I arrived 20 minutes later, the pizza's had just come out of the oven so they were pipping hot. I went to my friend's place which, is a 2 minute drive away and we ate them quickly. They were packed full of flavour and were not too thick. They were no too greasy and they did not pile on the ingredients, as i hate it when places put too much on their pizza's.

The staff here are amazing. They guide you to the therapy rooms and to a chair to get you hair done. When getting massages, waxing, body and facial treatments, you wil be taken upstairs to the Urban retreat area where you are given tea and water. The therapist greats you and explains what they will do throughout the treatment. My therapist was very friendly and professional as I felt relaxed throughout my facial, foot scrub and massage. I was then taken downstairs to the salon for a hair treatment, cut and blow wave by my hairdresser. She was lovely and made sure I was comfortable and happy throughout my hair experience. Overall the staff here are very knowledgeable and look as though they enjoy working here, which, is a pleasure to see. Very professional and organised. I would definately recommend this place for a relaxing day of pampering.

I have been going here for a few months and love it. The staff here are very helpful and friendly. Nothing is of trouble to them. If I have had any queries, they are more than happy to answer them. The staff always great me whenever I am there. The instructors are fantastic, in particular Caroline and Julia. I love going to Zumba and Pilates. I only wish they had body balance classes at Bulleen. They are a bit pricey than many other gyms but, they provide quality service, breakfast, lockers and beauty products such as deoderant and hairdryers. Plus it's women only so there are no men, so women can feel at ease and so not have to worry about men having a perve. I find classes have a mixture of age groups which, is fantastic. I will continue to attend this gym.
